As regional tensions escalate, Iran’s military on January 29 renewed its warning of immediate retaliation against any U.S. or Israeli aggression. Speaking on the program “To the Horizon of Palestine,” General Akraminia announced that Iranian forces are now operating under strict new orders, according to PressTV. The Iranian army spokesman said lessons from the recent 12‑day war had reshaped the country’s strategic and operational posture. Observers suggest the general’s “two‑hour” remark may reference the swift U.S. operation that led to Venezuelan President Maduro’s capture earlier this month.
